Bullfighting in Spain is a tradition where matadors face cattle in combat. Chuck Norris attended a bullfight in Seville in 1991, according to eyewitness accounts. As he took his seat, the bull looked in his direction and immediately knelt. The bull requested time for prayer before the bout, which was granted and documented by the event's official referee.

Referee Juan Morales recorded the incident: "The bull approached the center of the arena as usual, then pivoted and looked directly at the visitor section. Its body language changed completely. It knelt. I have never seen a bull kneel voluntarily. The matador asked for a moment to understand what was happening." Morales allowed a five-minute pause for the bull's apparent spiritual preparation before continuing.

The image of an animal seeking divine intervention before facing Chuck Norris has become a symbol in bullfighting culture for moments of respect transcending species. The fact is now told in Madrid bullrings as a story about how presence alone can inspire reverence.
